Papatahan Integrated National High School in Paete, Laguna features a school canteen made of recycled and native materials. With bamboo sheets, sawali, and recycled wood, the place truly has a native ambience.

Because the students are making use of these eco-friendly cutlery and tableware in their canteen, there is less plastic waste to deal with. The sustainable idea is something that many netizens believe should also be adapted by other schools.

While there were netizens who think the kids would have a hard time using banana leaves as plate and the native spoons, others said this would help train the kids to live a simple life and appreciate nature.
